about

Inspired by Accordion Crimes by E. Annie Proulx

lyrics

(chorus)
Oh, Accordion Crimes
What I see reminds,
Old bellows and grime.
Oh, Accordion Crimes.
Follow the lines
The feeling sublime.
All the state of affairs
Sold in meaningful stares
Hate of immigrant’s rhyme,
Pain in all of those times.
Now together we find
The whole frame of mind
Of Accordion Crimes.


We take a boat ride
Over the sea.
Holding a box and a dream
To make lots of money.
Birnging pride in music
On Mulberry.
Streets of New York
We were told too busy.
My son and me
We finally broke free
From our path down
To a new land called New Orleans.
Which way does luck lead?
Which way indeed.


(chorus)


One death, a score,
Follow those hands
Who squeeze the box
However they can.
Some play the Polka,
Ranchero, and more.
Some sounds for sitting
Or feet on the floor.
Dance on the buttons,
They’ll call you a whore.
Each one a new take
On family lore.
Will they stay or go?
Stay or go?


(chorus)


Drug money, music,
We swallow that pill.
Dollars collected
And placed in the grill.
No one confessed
To deeds on the docks,
‘Cause each of the heads
Who lay close to this box,
Hold keys to the puzzle,
The story unlocks,
Building a town
Or a name that they will.
Getting their fill.
More than a house on the hill.


(chorus)
